Quick question to my mathies: how important is the word "and" in math? #iteachmath #literacy #mtbos

[Dives Lopes @_dives_]

@beautyismath “And” is a math action word -a verb- meaning to add or combine, as well.

@JenKevorkian @erikasun @beautyismath @EGrahamEducator @ESOLSupervisor @HallaJmourko The logic, 🤔, somehow WORKS!

[Dives Lopes @_dives_]

@SteeleThoughts @beautyismath Yes!! I’m feeling tired this year-end. My sister in Math Ed @beautyismath is holding me accountable in ways she doesn’t know. We will finish strong!

@beautyismath @pgcps @PGCPSMSHSMath @BowieHighMd @ichimar41874058 @beautyismath, collaborating with you and @ichimar41874058 kept me going when times got tough this SY! I’ve got your back, and I know you have mine.

It's so frustrating when students mix up area and perimeter. Here's my take on why it happens and what we can do about it. https://t.co/U77nOxcu6O #iteachmath

Writing in the content area can be difficult for students of all backgrounds. Writing in math, in particular, can be very technical. @beautyismath @grillking1906 @RDub2388 @PGCPSMSHSMath

My go-to scaffolding technique for my ELs in Alg1 to my non-ELs in AP Stats: Sentence Frames. I’ve seen the quality of written explanations and justifications improve during DL #whatdistancelearningtaughtme #scaffolding #highschoolmathscaffolds

As Spring Break begins, I’m feeling reflective and would like to share #whatdistancelearningtaughtme: 1.When math teachers collaborate, our students get the best of us. @beautyismath @RDub2388 @grillking1906 @JenKevorkian @PGCPSMSHSMath

@npr_ed @npr_ed as a high school math teacher, I’ve noticed that the quality of my students’ writing, in mathematics, has vastly improved. My district has been fully virtual since March of 2020.
